TAAKE Planning Dates In Russia, USA, Mexico

June 8, 2007

Controversial Norwegian black metallers TAAKE will perform in Milan, Italy on September 15, according to a posting on the group's web site. The band is also planning gigs in Russia, Mexico, USA and the Balkans. TAAKE's lineup for this leg of the tour will be as follows:

Hoest: voice
Skagg: guitar
Dommedag: guitar
V'gandr: bass
Thurzur: battery

TAAKE frontman Hoest (photo#1, photo#2, photo#3) found himself at the center of controversy in March after he appeared on stage in Essen, Germany with a swastika symbol drawn on his chest. According to an article published in the March 26 edition of the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende, TAAKE's record label, Dark Essence Records, has indicated that it may terminate its relationship with the band as a result of TAAKE's behavior at the Essen concert.

TAAKE's third album, "Doedskvad", was released in 2005 via Dark Essence Records. The band had previously released two albums on the Wounded Love label: "Nattestid..." (1999) and "Bjoergvin" (2002). "Doedskvad" is the last installment in this trilogy.
